Kyuso Nekokami (キュウソネコカミ, Kyūso Nekokami; "Cornered Rat's Bite of a Cat") is a Japanese punk rock band that formed in 2009. The band formed in December 2009, and was made up of students from Kwansei Gakuin University's music club in Nishinomiya.

The name is a reference to the Japanese proverb Kyūso neko o kamu (窮鼠 猫を噛む; "A cornered rat will bite a cat"). In 2010, the band started performing at live houses across the Kansai area. In March 2012, the band released their first album Jūdai de Dashitakatta, followed by Daiji na Oshirase in December.
